Simple, Pure, and really, really cute - Lively Innocence: August 2009

Yeah. Last time I updated this blog was when Cory died. oh well. She'll be remembered for a lot of things. I hope we can move on sooner or later.

Anyway, as the topic says, I'll be talking about a lot of stuff in this post; some are personal, some political, some related to anime.

anyway... ELYSIA TALKS ABOUT:

- The whole "Wednesday Drama Day" Scenario
Lulz ensued. You can say it's my first IRL trolling gig. Just kidding. Well, cut the story short, Last Wednesday, I got caught playing in class, then sent to the discipline office, and I got my butt kicked. 1st minor offense. 3 strikes rule applies, so If I do that 2 more times, I'm screwed. Oh well. You won't see playing in class anymore. hahahaha. Regardless though, I kinda regret doing that. Even with whatever excuse i would give, still what is done is done. I'd rather smile and think that I've learned something rather than cry over spilled milk.

- Thesis
Honestly, we're completely lagging behind the thesis crap. It's partly my fault though. I wasn't able to lead my thesismates to do their jobs well. I also was not able to really watch over them do their jobs and I kinda had too much trust on them. Damn. Next time remind me to be a bit more strict.

- Gloria's expensive dinners in the U.S.
Bah, there are too many blogposts about this already, but I'll be posting another blogpost regarding this later. Anyway, she and her entourage spend more or less over Php1M just for fancy dinners. Even if it's not the President herself who spent the money, still the money should be used for charity programs for the poor and the hungry instead of wasting it on fancy dinners. Durr.

In addition to that, I remember someone who is under the office of the press secretary said that the President should not be dined in some fast-food restaurant or just be given a hotdog for lunch. Lulz. I honestly lol'd at that statement. But seriously though, what's wrong with not eating at fast food? Only snooty vain idiots would have what they call "refined taste". It's just another way of saying, it's so for the masses so we hate that crap. durr.

- Bakemonogatari

Hitagi Senjogahara is love. :3

- Aoi Hana

Enough Said. :3

- Motivation and Focus
Bah, early in the term I had lots of Motivation, but as time passes, so too does motivation. Right now, I'm practically brain dead. I'm unmotivated and I lack focus. Some please hit me on the head so that I can work efficiently again.

- Perfect World
Yeah, PW will get a new patch this month. Not sure when but hopefully the teasers will tell more about what is in store for us in PW. And I just hope it will bring more fun than pain. haha.

- Hello Kitty Online
For the lulz, I joined the Hello Kitty Online Founder's Beta. Now I don't have the installer yet but I'm eager to try it out just for fun. haha. I hope Hello Kitty Online will bring joy to those who are fans of the series.

- Cats and Catgirls
I blame 4chan for my renewed love for Cats. LOL CATURDAY and LOLCATS. Ever since then it has become one of my short term goals to get a pet cat. haha. Catgirls on the other hand... I blame this:

Azu~nyan is love. Damn it. Why must K-On! contain such a character?! xD It's because of Azu~nyan that became moar interested in catgirls. hahahaha.

- Career path
Well, after I graduate, it's either I go for a Master's Degree in Computer Science at the same time get an Education Degree with a Major in English, or I work at some company but at the same time I train myself to become a professional gamer at the same time train to become a freelance programmer. Hopefully, by the grace of God, I'll be able to get some motivation and be inspired to work hard for these dreams.

And... that's it for now. Enjoy my rants and ramblings. haha. Also, I might update the layout of this blog. Yunocchi is getting too old now. lulz.

I just watched the funeral of Former President Corazon Aquino and also followed the events from her death last saturday, to the public viewing of her remains both in La Salle Greenhills and in the Manila Cathedral, to the necrological services yesterday, and finally to her burial at Manila Memorial Park.

A common element here is the blatant outpouring of sorrow not only by her family and friends, but also by millions of Filipinos. The funeral motorcade from the Cathedral to the Memorial Park lasted 8 hours because of the sheer volume of people who want to see her one last time. People were throwing confetti, shouting her name and made the Laban sign with their hands; a testament to how much Cory has inspired the entire nation.

I cannot blame them. If it wasn't for Cory, we would still be under control by a totalitarian tyrant. Cory was the one who gave us our freedom back. The death of her husband Ninoy enlightened her to take up the challenge and stand in his place. She was able to unify the people and became the nation's leader following the successful non-violent movement now know as EDSA 1. As a result, she has become the mother of democracy of our country. She showed the world that we do not need force to get what we desire, but rather through peaceful means and through prayer.

Cory will be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of all time, perhaps even exceeding Ramon Magsaysay, because of her simplicity, humility, motherly love for her family and her country, and most importantly, her deep steadfast faith in the lord God. I understand why her loss is a tragedy to the Filipino people. She was an inspiration to us all.

And now that she is finally laid to rest, we say farewell to one of the greatest icons in Philippine history. History will never forget the deeds that she had done. She may be gone, but she will never be forgotten, for she taught us one valuable lesson; if we unite as one country, we can make things happen.

Paalam, Tita Cory. Maraming Salamat po.
